Smudging

Recorded variously in Toronto and Berlin, Smudging is a beautiful and dreamy listening experience spread across six songs in two epic tracks with guitar textures and hypnotic rhythms. Guitar drones and enveloping electronic sound-carpets alternate with more rhythmic and structured brackets, thanks to the involvement of AIDEN BAKER's drummer brother RICHARD, who divides his time between more consistent raids, near-improv evolutions, and softer special interventions. In both execution and structure, the stylistic code of Smudging elegantly delivers listeners to multiple parallel worlds.
